What Girls Said 11

My ex who I left 5 years ago has been in contact and we've met up a few times and it's actually been really good. Totally platonic, we have a laugh and reminisce about the old times. It's still kind of odd and it's a bit of a secret but it's been a positive and refreshing experience. I would not be able to do this with other exs.

It depends on the situation. Not every break up is a bad one, some people just aren't interested in each other anymore and would be better off friends. As long as he's not holding you back then I don't see the big deal. But if you have a new boyfriend he may have an issue with it.

I don't think it's weird. I know plenty of people who remained friends after they've broken up with each other and honestly isn't that the best way to end a relationship? It's kinda like there's still a happy end to it. :)

I kept in contact with my ex boyfriend for almost a year after we broke up and it was one of the worst decisions I've made. Turns out he wasn't over me and was still low key trying to get me back, even though he knew I had another boyfriend who I love very much.

I think it depends, honestly. As long as the both of you are 100% over each other and are capable of moving on, I think it could work out.

I still talk to my ex. We joke around, I know his current girlfriend, I still greet his parents etcetc. It all depends on how to left off. We both agreed that we weren't going to work out and it's better off being friends than ruining what we have. Another guy, we broke up fighting and when I see him I just ignore him and vice versa.
